soul map

there is no map where i travel

there is no path that i seek

there is no light to guide my way

the truth is within my eye

for i am the beholder of falsehoods

i am the beholder of lies

forgotten until the world grows dark

forgotten until time has ceased to exist

forgotten until the truth is known by all

*** *** *** ****

there is no truer place than the heart

there is no truer place than the soul

there is no truer place than the mind

the heart burns through hate

the soul burns through fear

the mind burns through deceit

one cannot behold the other

before dawn’s light

shines rays upon the dawn of truth

one cannot betray the other

within the darkness of our souls

shadows falling across the edges of our thoughts

we are yet to be defined by these lines

we are yet to be declared by these walls

we are yet to be defiled by these truths

until the dawn

we stand in the shadows

of another’s truth
